G51Jx copper

I have some IC7 ready and some heavy solid cast copper I modified highly that should find itself at home in the Jx when the therm tape arrives. It is some thick and heavy stuff! I'll do some testing to see what it does to temps.

 

Be very interested to see how you get on with this.

Where are you planning to add the copper ?
On the GPU memory ?
What sort of "design" of copper will you be adding ?

edit :
And where did you get the copper ?

 

hopefully I'll get to do it this weekend between papers and exams and rebuilding my truck lol.. I just received my therm tape. Now I need to run benchmarks and test everything.

The copper started out as dell server heat sinks that were cut down. Solid and heavy!
The two larger pieces will be on the cpu heat pipe and the smaller two on the gpu. There us not really any room to mod the gpu because asus used a large aluminum fin for the gpu memory that is cast as part of the fan shroud. So I am attaching a heavr recessed sink on the very end of the gpu pipe.. it will be interesting to see what happens.

 

Make sure to take pictures. Then I can compare copper-peen with you.

And to complete your cooling mod you need to drill lots and lots of holes.

 

Yes, drill lots and lots of holes into the radiator. It will help your cooling.

 

On the Jx they raised the area where on the previous G series there was the "speaker" This gives the intake on the updated fan a larger opening to suck in air. I do have 5 small holes strategically placed. I'm not sure having seen the thermal images posted in another link that Swiss cheesing the case is the way to go. If I do that I somewhat loose control over the direction of flow and what I want it to do is flow over the sinks and not see them as a restriction forcing the air to come from somewhere else...another hole. I will look at it further though
